Make the Kylo Ren Crossguard LightSaber

The New LightSaber has a wonderful medieval feel to it. The crossguard makes it more like a traditional sword. This is an easy project to make and you don't need a lot of supplies. I give you two different templates so you can make the regular sized sword or the larger sword.

I also have a video tutorial for this project at the bottom of the page.

Note from Will: The Template and this tutorial is absolutely free! But would you consider a donation of $1 to support my work? Paypal makes it very easy and safe. Click here to donate $1 - Every little bit helps Will to keep making great tutorials and templates. Thanks!

Note: This tutorial follows the exact process for making the normal size lightsaber. There is a little bit of variation for the large size saber. The template for the large lightsaber are explained in the template for it.

Print up the template and cut out the pieces. Don't tape them together yet.

The handle has details on it. You don't cut them out . You simply cut around it. You can use a sharp knife on some of the edges that are small.

Put that handle piece on your sheet of foamboard and trace it. Trace it twice -in opposite corners of your foamboard. We trace them in the corners so we have room on the foamboard for the sword blade piece.

Now tape the six pieces of the template together like this. Make sure the handle and blade form a nice straight line. You can see I have the blade a little tilted compared to the handle. I need to straighten it before I tape it.

Now place that template on your foam board diagonally and trace it. And we need two of these so grab your second sheet of foamboard and trace it again.

Now cut all those parts out. You end up with four like you see in the picture here.
